Maryse! I may have missed this on your blog…so happy to hear that Marianne Zapata will be releasing a new book in July!!
It’s called “Hands Down”…it’s about Zac, the roommate in Wall of Winnipeg’s house. He was the awesome gorgeous footballer who was trying to get it together after an injury. Here’s the blurb.
“Before he was Big Texas, he was Zac the Snack Pack.
Bianca Brannen knows time—mostly—heals all wounds. Including those your once loved ones might have unintentionally given you. (Those just take longer.)
She thinks she’s ready when a call has her walking back into her old friend’s life. Or at least as prepared as possible to see the starting quarterback in the National Football Organization. Before the lights, the fans, and the millions, he’d been a skinny kid with a heart of gold.
Waltzing out of Zac Travis’s life should be easy. Just as easy as he walked out of hers.”
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
YES!!!! *squeeeeeee* I did see that, and I can’t WAIT!!!!!! I need to stalk it. 😉
Ooh, I knew there was a new Mariana Zapata book coming out, but didn’t realise it’s about Zac from WoW. I reread WoW recently so should be in the right frame of mind for Hands Down 🙂
I’m intrigued to see a new Camilla Lackberg novel is coming out. I loved her Patrick Hedstrom series. A friend and I used to take turns buying them as they came out, and exchange books. Really good crime thrillers. I might check out the new one, although it sounds a little different from the other ones. Still, she’s a really good writer.
Hi Jan, I was thinking about you over the last couple weeks as I binged on historical romances, one of your favourite genres. So much fun, I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed it!
Just finished Slightly Dangerous by Mary Balogh (one of your favourites, I think?). I loved it…a beautiful slow burn – 5 stars ⭐
Also enjoyed The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Ashley & Chasing Cassandra by Kleypas. Both were really good & 4.5 stars ⭐
Once and Always by Judith McNaught – 3 stars ⭐
Next up is…Daring and the Duke (The Bareknuckle Bastards #3) by Sarah MacLean.
Always looking for recommendations! 😏
You gave similar star ratings to me, mony. Yay. Book twins! Yes, Slightly Dangerous is a beautiful book, isn’t it?
I’ll be interested to see what you make of the Sarah Maclean.
For recs, and slightly different HRs, have you tried Susan Fanetti’s Carry The World? American Great Depression.
Or Joanna Shupe’s Magnate?American Gilded Age. I enjoyed both.
Quick covid update: Both my sons and my husband (41) are recovered! Our quarantine is also over!!!!! Because they all took turns, I’ve been stuck at home for 4 weeks! I’m glad that is over. It took my husband 12 days to feel better and he had very mild symptoms. The fatigue hits hard around day 10. This is serious!
Maryse, thank you for this blog. I literally check it everyday! Reading got me through this!!!!!
Oh thank goodness!!!! This makes me so happy, and it makes me so happy to know that they had mild symptoms and you didn’t get it. ❤️
And it is my pleasure, my friend. I’m so glad you’re with us!!! 🥰
😘
I’m so glad to hear that everyone is back to be healthy.
Thank you!
So glad everyone is healthy now!! How did you not get it when they had it? We have talked as a family about how we will quarantine in the guest room if one of us gets it. Take Care.
THANKS everyone! I don’t know how I didn’t get it. Neither did my 11 year old. I slept in the same bed as my husband the whole time. I know that seems crazy but by the time he got it, I had been taking care of the boys and figured it is what it is. I was taking vitamin c, d, b12, probiotic and another supplement called NAC.(I have since stopped taking all that except probiotic). Maybe that helped but we won’t know unless I get an antibody test. Which I am going to try to do. Maybe I had it and didn’t have symptoms????? This virus is so crazy.
I wonder if it’s genetics? Like… Pink and her son got it BAD, yet her husband and daughter didn’t at all. And they were all quarantined together.
Glad your family has recovered. My nurse friend who was in the ICU on a ventilator for over 2 months, is now in rehab. and improving every day. His wife and son also did not get sick. Crazy.
It’s great to hear your family has got through this. Sending warm thoughts to you and yours.
Be sure to take extra special care of yourself.
Must make you feel good knowing they are all better.
I just started “You Were There Too” (loving the writing already) but GASP!!!!! The heroine thinks Keanu Reeves is mediocre??!!!!!
*thud*
😑😒🤨
That is just not ok.
😂
Ha ha ha. That is just wrong.
Just finished “You Were There Too”. OMG…writing was great with ALL the feels in this one. Emotionally devastated.
OMG D.G. I’m so thrilled you said that!! I keep hearing how awesome it is. Luckily I have a long weekend to dig into it properly. 🙂
YOU ARE SO RIGHT D.G.!!! I just finished it too, and HOLY MOLY I didn’t see ANY OF THAT COMING!!!!!!!
Just one clicked E K Blair. I love her writing. Also very happy about Zapatas new book. Just started The Girl in the Love Song. Maryse, I love your Blog. Thanks for the time you invest.
Lisa C, glad you are all Ok
Oh yes I really like E.K. Blair too!!! And I’m dying for Mariana’s. I’m always in the mood for her.
And thank you, Rochelle, for that sweet comment. This is my happy place, and I’m lucky to have you all with me. ❤️
